During the final main sequence ofThe Witcher 3: Wild Hunt,Geralt and Ciri work to isolatethe villain Eredin from all of his supporters. However, one supporter remains when they make their move: Caranthir the Navigator. As a navigator, Caranthir can move the Wild Hunt between dimensions, and he’s a powerful sorcerer as well.
Unlike every other boss fight inThe Witcher 3, players fight Caranthir as both Ciri and Geralt, one after the other. Not only that, but Caranthir’s attack pattern changes depending on who he fights. If players want to beat him, they’ll have to figure out not one but two winning strategies.

The Setup
During the quest “On Thin Ice,” Geralt joins the main assault on the Naglfar, but thenCaranthir’s ice magic freezes himand the other soldiers. To stop him, Ciri teleports in and cuts her way through a number of Wild Hunt soldiers and hounds. This part moves quickly since every enemy dies in one strike, but then the fight against Caranthir is just as hard as any other boss battle. However, once Caranthir loses about one-third of his health, Ciri teleports away and Geralt takes over.

Once Caranthir’s health is down to around one-tenth, a cutscene will start and Geralt will end up underwater. After that comes a short run to the Naglfar, and thenthe big fight against Eredin will begin.
